Hello ladies,
A couple of things need to be sent out ahead of the regular February newsletter.
1. If you weren't at the January meeting and would like to sign up for the February Lunch Bunch at Tempo Restaurant in Woodstock, on Wednesday, February 4 at 12 noon, please let Ginny Chato know in the next couple of days, before she makes the reservation. msginny6@gmail.com
2. Ginny left her stainless steel water bottle at South Gate after the November meeting. Someone on staff told her that they saw someone pick it up, saying they knew who it belonged to. If that was you, please contact Ginny at msginny6@gmail.com
3. CRA has reached out to seniors groups about webinars related to taxes that will be taking place before our next newsletter comes out. I can't seem to make the link live for you to click on, but if you are interested in learning more, please respond to this email in the next couple of days and I will forward the original email to you.
Sandy

Announcements
Hello all,
It looks like the parking lot at South Gate WILL be open tomorrow. Remember, the new entrance is off of Victoria Street at the back of the parking lot.
It also looks like the weather might be a problem. If South Gate remains closed due to bad weather, then obviously we won't have a meeting. If this should happen, you will receive an email first thing in the morning.
If South Gate remains open, then our meeting will go ahead and you can decide how safe you feel about getting there.
South Gate is almost ready for its grand opening. They are still unable to tell us if the parking lot will be ready by our January meeting. If it is open, please note that the entrance is now off
of Victoria St.
We received an email from the Ontario Ministry of Finance asking us to pass this information on to our members. They will be running a series of webinars ahead of tax season to help taxpayers understand credits and benefits, including Ontario’s Medical Expense and Seniors
Care at Home tax credits. To learn more and register: www.ontario.ca/taxtalk
We are still in need of a Vice-president. Jane Fletcher is looking for someone she can mentor to start planning next year’s speakers.

Special Events
February’s Lunch Bunch will be held at Tempo (on Dundas St) on Wednesday, February 4 at
noon. There will be a sign-up sheet at the January meeting.
Let’s get friendly in February and invite a friend to attend the meeting. There will be
a special treat for everyone
